"...our hopes and expectations, black holes and revelations."

    It may sound weird, but I think one of the reasons why I flunked a subject last year was due to my fanaticism for Muse, a british rock band composed by Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dom Howard.
    I still remember that crazy afternoon of October 15 when I was trying to make a test…the only problem? I could only think of the songs that I would be singing at the Movistar Arena!! I don’t even spent an hour in the classroom when I had to run to take the bus and meet my sister who also enjoys this great band. 
    The line to enter to the enclosure and the waiting for 3 hours standing were nothing compared to all the years I had been waiting to see Matt sing. Everything was going great, but suddenly a man started throwing up right behind me. If you don't know, I suffer from "emetophobia”, a strange phobia to vomit, that in my case leads me to severe panic attacks...so you can imagine how I was. But then, I thought that nothing could ruin that moment, so I tried to not give importance to the fact that smelled of vomit and the man was very close to me. 
     Finally, the lights went out and the show began!! I sang all the songs and the whole crowd was on fire with the guitar solos of “Plug in Baby" and "Knights of Cydonia".
     Without doubt, the best concert of my life along with Roger Waters and David Gilmour...but that are stories for another time.

  5. Poor ale. I have emetophobia too.
    Maybe the concerts are the cure to your panic attacks!
